About The Insurance Dudes
The Insurance Dudes is a weekly podcast for independent and captive P&C insurance agency owners, hosted by Craig Pretzinger and Jason Feltman, covering lead generation, sales scripts, DISC-based hiring, producer training, recruiting, automation, and the KPI tracking that scales an agency past $10 million in premium. Craig and Jason ran their own agencies blind for years. No read on contact rates, quote rates, or close rates. Just grinding, and blaming the leads when production stalled. Then they started tracking the numbers that actually move revenue, and production jumped without adding a single hour to the week. That shift became this show: 800+ episodes on what actually runs an agency. Real-time vs aged lead economics, how many dials a day a producer should be making, scripts for the rate-increase objection, how to leave a captive carrier and go independent, how to run an agency on a 4-day week, and how to value and sell an agency when you're ready to exit. No theory, no motivational filler. Just the math and the systems that took two agencies to over $10 million in new annualized auto premium. If you're wearing every hat in your agency and ready to stop, this show is built for you. Website: theidudes.com Built from the show: TeleDudes for outsourced overseas dialers, TeamIQ for DISC-based hiring, LineShield for phone reputation, and Insurance Agency Trader for buying or selling an agency. New episodes every week. Subscribe, and let's sell some policies.

From Wild Claims to Agency Success: Michelle O'Connor's Journey
Published 9 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] I had read the book Traction. And even though we were T-small little agency, we decided to apply the principles of that. And that really helped us a lot. We kind of had to meld it to make it our own. But that helped us a lot because it's in your face all the time. And the most important thing I did was the most simplistic. My husband and I looked at where we wanted the agency to be in 15 years. And I used an Excel spreadsheet to back into what we had to do to get there. That was the easiest thing ever, but everything else trickled down from that. That is awesome. Did you get an integrator or did you just do it yourself? […]
